A friend of mine sent to me this mail (something is in italian, but take a
look to the link):

Manno', il vero vincitore e' l'Atari 800XL (all hail, discordia), che puo'
comodamente essere usato come web server, vedi
http://kl.net/atari/
Dalle FAQ:
Subject: 13.18) How do I type a tilde (common character in Web URL's)
on my Atari?
The question is: "How do I type the tilde or squigly line which is in
most web addresses? I don't have a key for it..."
Answer: The tilde is an inverse backspace on the Atari 8-Bit which can
be very hard to type depending on the term program you are using.
Si discuteva di un linguaggio di scripting basato sul Basic, ma
MICROS~1 ci ha rubato l'idea...
> portare Apache sull'MSX
Ha! Abbandona l'idea, anche Miss Pacman girava a fatica su quello
scatolino giapponese.
Comprati un computer serio! Nulla puo' battere un 6502 a 1.79 MHz,
64K, 320x192 a 128 colori simultanei (pero' 16 diversi per linea, cose
un po' difficili da capire per un profano), audio a 4 voci, piu' i
misteriori coprocessori ANTIC, GTIA e POKEY. Cosi' misteriosi da
meritare un chiaro schema:

Ah!
L'arcano potere di un bel POKE 623,64!
I meravigliosi giochi di David Crane!
Le lunghe attese davanti ad un registratore a cassette!
Quanti ricordi... non ho nemmeno una fotografia ne' uno screenshot di
tutti quei bei momenti... meno male che c'e' l'ASCII art.
